Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, May 23, 2006

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 11,476 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 65. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,873 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 3,857 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Kingston Rd between Fenwood Hts and Rockwood Dr (38 m away) recorded an average of 56 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 66 km/h. That segment carries about 24,000 vehicles a day. Rockwood Dr between Phyllis Ave and Cree Ave measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Jun 2015). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on McCowan Rd (341 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 31,256 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
